New York, Oct 15 — Celebrities are mostly accompanied by a team of makeup artists to make them look good all the time. But there are some who believe in the "do it yourself" theory.

The list includes popular singers and even beauty pageant participants.

Here are some of the famous faces who like to do makeup on their own, reports huffingtonpost.com:

- Models: Teams of makeup artists sit backstage at fashion weeks, prepping each girl for the runway. But there are those models who do it themselves. For her Lucky Brand ad campaign, Lauren Hutton arrived on set with her own tools. Supermodel Gisele Bundchen has also said she does her own makeup.

- Miss America contestants: Beauty queens at Miss America also do all their makeup backstage themselves. Kelly Richardson, a professional spray tanner who works backstage with the pageant hopefuls, said: "Little known fact: Miss America is required to do her own hair and makeup during her reign...They are on their own."

- Royals: Kate Middleton famously did her own makeup for the royal wedding in 2011. As People magazine reported, Kate had "about three or four lessons" before the big day until she was "comfortable and confident in doing it herself."

- Singers: Country singer Carrie Underwood once said that she does her own hair and makeup when on tour, and People magazine reported that R&amp;B star Beyonce Knowles often does her own makeup for public appearances. Gwen Stefani also made it clear she prefers to do things on her own - "I'm not going to let someone do my makeup, because they don't know how to do it".
